him. >> bob: eighth play of the drive coming up from the atlanta 26. flacco. boldin, and he picks up nine. you know it's interesting, matt. when we were talking about anquan boldin yesterday, he's such a physical player. you asked him if you weren't playing wide receiver, what would you be doing? >> warren: he said i'd be on defense and probably a linebacker. he says don't call me a receiver. i'm a football player. that's a big deal. that's exactly what he is. he's a pure football player. >> bob: rice knifes through for a first down at 11. talked about anquan boldin being an all-around football player, fastest to 400 receptions. fastest to 500, 80 games. lionel taylor took him 89. fastest to 600. 98 games. it took marvin hairston 102.

>> joe: and he says i have all the stats. i want a championship. he wanted to go some place where there's a great defense, a running game and a great quarterback and exactly what he feels like he has in baltimore. >> bob: four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown tonight. mcgahee on the draw. hit by moore. davis was trying to rip the ball out, but it's a gain of five for the ravens. >> matt: you know, a lot has been talked about anquan boldin and how he got over here and ray lewis connection and all that but here's the bottom line. talking to ozzie newsom before the game. this guy was our top guy. we wanted him, not necessarily because of what he could do with his skill set but his attitude fits our team. this is a tough guy and he is and we wanted him on the team. >> bob: second and five. flacco whips it right. touch don derrick mason.

so with 5:42 to go, the ravens get back to within one possession. >> joe: wonderful job of protection first, and then what derrick mason does is he keeps working and presses this far inside. he's going to go far inside and then come back out. keeps working, working. plants, comes back and a nice throw by joe flacco. >> matt: i've got to tell you, by grimes, that's great coverage. >> joe: he's close. >> matt: double move like that, great coverage. flacco put that thing right where it had to be. >> bob: second touchdown pass for joe flacco. cundiff evenings tra point is good. so the numbers may be all in favor of the falcons tonight, but the ravens are within one possession. flacco to mason for the touchdown here in the fourth. ba

>> bob: rook at brent grimes number 20. transitioned beautifully out of his break and mason has position with his body, but flacco puts the ball. the only place it can be. that's outside. away from the defender, and mason comes down with a catch and comes down holding his hand.

14th year pro out of michigan state with his third touchdown catch. season. joe flacco two career wins after trailing by 13 or more. did it in '08 and had that great comeback against buffalo in baltimore a couple of weeks ago. cundiff on the kick. weems will take another knee. so derrick mason gets baltimore to within six with 5:42 to go in the ball game. now some pressure on matt ryan and the falcons' offense to play keepaway up by six. sunday catch nfl "gameday final.

roddy white in motion on a first and ten. ryan under pressure with suggs closing in. pass intended for roddy white. >> matt: suggestion turned it up a little bit. >> joe: boy, he has. ever since he got that penalty down there, boy, he's on fire. coming hard off the outside and the play action is supposed to take care of him. i heard that supposed to stuff before. it doesn't always work that way. >> matt: he's got good instincts and has been around the game a long time and he knows when they are trying to okey-doke him. >> bob: gonzalez in motion. ryan to throw again. ryan/white. first down. carr on the tackle. a gain of 16. >> joe: you know, we spoke with roddy white just yesterday and when we were talking to him,

talked about who were the guys you liked to look at and why? one of the first guys he mentioned was anquan boldin, and he mentioned boldin because he said he's precise in his routes and he's a strong guy, and he's got to be right, and he says he patterns himself after that type of receiver. >> joe: joe horn had a big influence on him when he played with him in '07. really took him under his wing and taught him how to be a professional also. >> bob: expect the falcons to try to run a little clock here after trying two straight pass plays. michael turner on the call. turner gets three on the play as the clock moves to 4:43 and counting. >> joe: baltimore with all its time-outs. you can keep an eye on the play clock, which is at 30 right now, you'll see the atlanta falcons in all likelihood snap this ball somewhere in the five-second range taking as much time off the clock as they possibly can.

>> matt: remember, this is a one-score game right now so they have to use the clock, and they have to convert here on trying to pick up the first down. >> bob: you saw the falcons try to put it up in the air the first two plays of the drive, including the 16-yarder to white. snelling to the 42. a gain of three. >> matt: snelling missed a great opportunity with his vision. if you were able to break it to his right, to the outside. he had some area to run. >> bob:-2-here we go to another crucial third down where the falcons have been so efficient all night. >> matt: yeah, but in this range they haven't been that efficient. between two and four yards they are only 1 for 3. >> bob: owner arthur blank watching anxiously. >> matt: this is a big down right here. big down for baltimore. >> joe: for both teams. >> matt: exactly, and atlanta. >> bob: white in motion.

pressure. white, dropped it. he had the first down, and he dropped it with 3:19 to go. >> matt: boy, that's a huge drop for the falcons. >> joe: clock stops. you don't need to use a time-out. you'll have the two-minute. ball is thrown a little bit outside. still a catch. >> matt: in his hands. >> joe: should an easy catch. >> matt: tried to stack behind gonzalez. they got what they wanted. he dropped it. >> bob: ed reed who has a punt return for a touchdown in his career waits back at about the 11. great high spiraling punt by koenen. flag on the play and reed from the five. hit by weems and then knocked down at the ten yard line. antone smith on the tackle. we'll check the flag with 3:06

to go. 53-yard punt. >> matt: that was a bomb. >> bob: my michael koenen. >> joe: i don't think ed should have fielded it. as a former punt returner, i used to use -- >> referee: illegal procedure, player number 14. went out of bounds on his own and came back into the field of play. a five-yard penalty. will be assessed at the previous spot. repeat fourth down. >> joe: going to make him kick it over. >> matt: that's huge because baltimore was scheduled to start at their own ten and now your guy's got to go and run down field again, and a lot of times you'll see a team get a good return off this as the gunners now have to go down and beat it. the problem is weems went out of bounds and came back in, and he's first guy that hit ed reed. >> joe: but he went out of bounds on his own. he didn't get forced out. when you get forced out, you have to get back in as quickly as possible. see. runs out of bounds. nobody forced him out. >> matt: i know this will come

as a surprise to you. used to have a rule back in the old days. any player that came to the sideline, he -- he was mysteriously swallowed and never seen from again. >> joe: just disappeared over those other people. >> bob: we'll see how big a penalty this is. remember, ed reed was tackled at the ten. koenen with a big high spiraling kick. reed lets it bounce and takes a ravens roll and it's downed at the 29 yard line. so it's a 19-yard differential in the penalty. so, guys, the first half dominated by the atlanta falcons. they have done a lot of great things, but now baltimore has the football. down by only six and a chance to steal this game. >> joe: you want to be a championship football team. this is what you have to do. the ravens didn't come in here thinking it was easy. the atlanta falcons are 17-1. matt ryan 17-1 in this building so they knew it wasn't going to be easy. it was going to be a slobberknocker for lack of a

better word. >> matt: what you'll see is he's going to go back and spread the field. now in rhythm. flacco is in rhythm so we'll watch a lot of underneath stuff. let's see if heap becomes a big deal. >> bob: flacco out of the gun and flacco looking for houshmadzadeh on the post. incomplete. joe, 2:52 to go. baltimore with three time-outs. isn't the draw on the run to rice the option with everybody protecting the pass. >> joe: i think it is. babineaux coming up front, biermann, flying off the fall. if you catch them in the tackling games that they run, you could split it and wind up with 15, 20 yards before the defenders get to him. >> matt: i'm surprised they tried to push it there on first down that deep. i'd use the middle of the field right now with heap to check things down. >> bob: throw it on second down. flacco in trouble. has mason at mid-field.

great awareness by flacco to find mason. it's a gain of 22. >> joe: nice job once again of derrick mason keeping himself available and in joe flacco's vision. >> matt: to me this is all on flacko. now he feels it. looks like he's almost going to get happy feet right here and gathers himself. eyes down the field and that's when mason is able to come clean. >> bob: also, the falcons only rushed three, matt. so now you've got a chance to find some holes. >> bob: atlanta trying to protect a six-point lead. 2:42 to go. pass deflected and incomplete. intended for t.j. houshmandzadeh. i think john abraham got it up and tipped it. >> matt: played himself a good game here tonight as well. put pressure on all night and jumped inside. taking things a short route the whole time and here he gets his hands up and knocks things down. >> bob: matt, as a defender, if you can't get up there, get your hands up there.

>> matt: absolutely, and this guy has been doing it for a long time. now the crowd knows it's big time, too. ray lewis told us i have all the confidence in the world in my young quarterback. >> joe: find todd heap. >> bob: second and ten. ray rice, middle of the field picks up six to the 44 yard line. >> joe: ray rice and todd heap run exactly the same routes out of the backfield. they run little hook delays about six yards down the field. last lost after leading after the third quarter, 2008. deion sand eers was on the falcs that day. >> bob: working our way to the two-minute warning, and they will not get the play off.

a huge third and four coming up for joe flacco and the baltimore ravens. matt ryan been involved in a physical contest with ray lewis. ravens need a touchdown to win t.

>> bob: become in atlanta with two minutes to go in the ball game. falcons by since and ravens with a third and four at the atlanta 4 4 44. >> warren: four-down territory, they are going man. >> bob: flacco, first down. flag on the play. >> joe: one of the things that joe flacco said is you can throw to a covered anquan boldin. he's the only guy in the receiving corps that you believe you can be able to throw the football to when he's covered. >> referee: holding defense number two. that penalty is declined. result of the play is a first down. >> matt: when your quarterback has confidence in the receiver, the windows schlink because they believe he's going to come down with the ball, and you saw it right there. i mean, he was completely covered. it was a penalty and a good call, but he still trust that had boldin is coming down with it.

>> bob: six career game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime. screen for ray rice. gets a block. rice to the outside and around moore, and knocked out at the 11 yard line. a gain of 24. >> matt: what a great call by cam cameron, the offensive coordinator. just perfectly called. used the defense against him and knew he was going to get a rush and dumped it down underneath. >> bob: three offensive linemen out in front of him clean and one of them got the block. ray rice did the rest. he was in such a hurry, matt, to get up the field. he got up top of two of his offensive lineman. >> bob: from the 11. ray rice. picks up about three on the play. >> matt: two time-outs. baltimore has three. 1:10. >> bob: mike smith just used one of his last two. >> matt: the other part of this

is this happened with mike holmgren one time. let them score fast and get the ball back and give them a chance. i don't believe in that. >> bob: let's send it over to rich eisen. rich? >> i'm walking and talking to let you know what's coming up on the post-game show presented by kay jewellers. full highlights of this game and getting you set for the rest of week ten. that's clearly getting off to a nice start. also a live guest on the set. still up for grabs depending on who is going to win this game. >> bob: all right. rich. your nfl weekend starts right here on nfl network. john harbaugh's team has hung in there. down by six 1:06 to go. >> joe: falcons going man-to-man. last time down they got the ball to derrick mason. you're going to double anquan boldin. the best way to give him an opportunity to make a play is to put him in the slot. now they have him up top next to todd heap and giving joe flacco a couple of options. >> bob: second and eight from the nine.

rice motions. flacco, end zone. todd heap touchdown. >> matt: we knew he would get to him eventually, but here's the thing. they may have scored a little too fast. let's -- they got over a minute to go. with a time-out. >> joe: i don't agree with that. i don't think there's ever scoring too fast. you've got to put it on your defense. if that's who you are. if you're the ravens and that's what you are, put them out on the field. >> bob: now it's a tie ball game. billy cundiff perfect this season on extra points, and now since we're under two minutes, this is going to be reviewed to see if he had control. did todd heap have control in the end zone on the catch? you saw the ball come off his hip at the end of that last replay. this is a booth review. we're inside of two minutes. we'll be back with the replay challenge.

are we tied or not? you could never deliver this much power in a space this small until now. introducing the craftsman compact right angle impact driver. delivering powerful torque, and greater control in the tightest spaces more innovation. more great values. craftsman. trust. in your hands.

>> bob: todd heap's touchdown under review. booth review. >> joe: it's a touchdown.

ron. with you go. >> referee: after review, the ruling on the field is confirmed. the receiver with the ball in his possession has two feet down and takes two steps and the ball is then dislodged by a defensive player. the receiver was in a standing position throughout the process of completing the catch. therefore, it is a touchdown. >> bob: good call as todd heap had it knocked away by william moore, but he secures the football long enough for the touchdown. >> joe: that's one heck of an explanation. >> matt: a good explanation. >> joe: i mean it really was. >> bob: we told you that ray lewis believes in joe flacco and he tells him that there. now the extra point gives baltimore the first lead of the night with 1:05 to go. cundiff to kick it. cook to hold. snap is good, and baltimore with their first lead of the night, 1:05 remaining. >> matt: still a lot of time. a lot of time for a hot matt

ryan and an offensive line that's protected him, and now if you're a great defense, and you say you are and you believe you are, now is the time to prove it. >> joe: this is what i would do if i was the ravens defensively. what i would do is i would take roddy white away. greg madsen, their defensive coordinator has to be thinking. they have to try to get to roddy white on third downs. they got to him on a couple of them. quite a few of them, as a matter of fact. i'm going to take him out of the game. tony gonzalez is not going to beat me going down the field. i know they will try to get into field goal range. make him go to michael jenkins. make him go to harry douglas and make him go to brian finneran. don't give him the chance to get to rode white. >> bob: coming up after the game the kay jewellers post-game show with rich, deion, marshall and mooch. a preview of sunday's action in week ten in the national football league, and what a start we've had here tonight in

atlanta in a matchup of a pair of 6-2 teams. matt ryan 29 of 43. 244 yards, but he's watched the baltimore ravens storm back from a 13-point deficit. roddy white had a ball in his hands on a third down that would have given atlanta a first down and a fresh set of downs, and the ability to kill more clock. couldn't hold on. baltimore made them pay, matt. >> matt: that was a big one right there. ran the perfect route. ball perfectly thrown and the sure-handed white dropped it. >> bob: cundiff does what he's been doing it all night. sending the kick about eight yards deep for a touchback. >> joe: what a great weapon he is when you're in a game like this. make somebody go 80 yards. we saw the ravens get a jump start because they had a great return in the beginning of the second half. >> bob: matt ryan four game-winning drives in the

fourth quarter or overtime. >> matt: he's got to go about 45 yards to give them a chance to win the game. >> joe: really plenty of time. >> bob: one time-out remaining. for ryan and the falcons. under pressure from suggs and the pass incomplete. >> matt: boy, he's turned it up, hasn't he? terrell suggs the last quarter, quarter and a half, he has turned up the heat. >> joe: and the ravens just rushed three. >> matt: right. he's coming hard. >> joe: that was three against six and the ravens rushed. now they put haloti ngata in the middle. >> matt: he's going to get a big push in the center right on top of mcclure. that's a tough order right there. that's going to draw the block inside of one of your guards which allows suggs on the outside to get up the field. >> bob: second and ten. ryan through the hands of

douglas at the 32. >> matt: make him throw it to douglas and jenkins. take the others away. take roddy white away. >> bob: it's not like he wasn't open. >> joe: tried to get him the ball two or three times tonight. you have to make that catch. >> matt: wide open. >> joe: you have to make this. that time they triple-teamed haloti ngata in the middle. >> bob: you've got to win that matchup. >> joe: absolutely. >> bob: third and ten for ryan. deep out jenkins. did he get the feet? at the 44? the officials say yes. >> matt: he controlled the ball all the way through. nice catch. >> bob: clock stops with 50 seconds to go. >> matt: that's a heck of a throw. >> joe: again, no roddy white though. >> matt: yeah. well, they will take this catch. >> joe: and they may review this. >> matt: he's got control.

>> bob: i don't know. i think it's going to go to a booth review. >> matt: that ball was in his hands and saw it move a little off the fingertips and i don't know if he had both feet in. regrips it. that looks pretty good. >> joe: this is one that goes either way. ball hits the fingertips. does he regrip right there. >> matt: going to try to pull the thing in. >> joe: but he never does. >> matt: watch his fingers. holds it in his fingers, caught it with his fingers and he controls it with his fingers, going to bring it into his body 2ds but see if the ball was moving. would i say that is not a catch. once they look at it. they are going to see the ball moving in his hands, and they are going to determine it is not a catch. >> matt: had it in his fingertips and he keeps control. >> bob: he keeps it in his

fingertips through the end of the catch. >> joe: i know. i'm looking at this. i'm just telling you. it looks like it's moving. definitely dragged the left foot. >> joe: the feet are down, no question. it's does he have control of the ball all the way through the catch? >> matt: and i think that's fingertip control. the left hand never comes off the ball, joe. >> joe: yes, sir. your honor. >> matt: lost in all that, that's a great throw. >> referee: after review, the ruling on the field is confirmed. it is a catch. player had the ball in his possession and two feet inbounds. >> bob: i could see why john harbaugh would say that wasn't a catch. ray lewis can't believe it. you know, ray, he doesn't really bobble it. >> joe: i mean, however they determine it, like i said, it

could have gone either way. >> bob: that was truly a fingertip catch. >> joe: it was. >> matt: throughout course of the catch and fingertip control. it a good call by the officials. >> bob: so with 50 seconds to go. ryan takes the snap. time-out ravens. >> matt: 25 yards away, 20 yards away from a 55-yarder. >> joe: if i'm looking for anybody right here, i'm looking for tony gonzalez. >> bob: we'll be back. falcons down by one 50 seconds left.

>> bob: matt bryant has had a couple of game-winning field goals this season. hit a 51-yarder tonight. first and ten atlanta. ryan, middle of the field, first down to the 41. roddy white on the catch. >> matt: clock it right it. clock it and stop it. >> joe: just take your time. no problem. >> bob: ryan will clock it with 35 seconds. >> matt: another ten yards and you can kick it with bryant. >> joe: roddy white comes inside a little bit. you can't give him the room. he shows his strength. josh wilson trying to cover him. it's not fair. >> bob: and because atlanta has that one time-out in their pocket, they can still use the middle. field. >> matt: middle of the field is big. >> matt: watch ngata over the middle with mcclure. >> bob: roddy white, had it, lost, it incomplete.

>> matt: second drop of the night. but they did. they came with the inside "a" gap blitz. >> joe: puts the ball right on the money. roddy white turns the ball at last second and it gets away from him. >> bob: remember, white had the big drop on the last possession for atlanta. >> matt: on third down. >> bob: on third down. so it's third and ten at the 41. ravens show blitz. pass intended for gonzalez, flag on tavares gooden. >> matt: great job by matt ryan. feeling the pressure off the left side. they brought numbers to his left. kept his eyes down the field and stepped up and, bam, that ball was right out. gonzalez would have had a chance to make a play. >> referee: pass interference,

defense, number 52. penalized at the spot of the foul and a first down. here's the numbers to the left. you keep in three and we bring four. ryan steps up. delivers the ball. >> joe: tony gonzalez, if you could see the subtleness of what he did. just slowed down enough so that gooden could climb his back before he made a leap at the ball. blitz again first and ten. ryan. roddy white. he'll walk in. touchdown falcons! >> matt: what a fantastic job by

matt ryan of seeing the blitz and then buying time by rolling to his left, and that gives him the time to find him down the field for six. >> joe: what a great call by the offensive coordinator to get him away from the pressure. he's moving right now. that's a sprint. that is a great call. >> matt: great call by the coach. >> joe: terrific throw and they are trying to cover roddy white when they are bringing pressure with josh wilson. josh wilson is 5'9". he wanted a flag. he went barking at officials saying he knocked me down. >> joe: he pushed him the last time he caught the pass. wasn't going to get it that time and wasn't going to get it this time. >> bob: well, the heart meters are pumping on the atlanta falcons as they go 80 yards against ray lewis' baltimore ravens defense to take the lead back with 20 seconds to go. now ryan and the falcons will go for two to try to make this a seven-point game. right now the margin i
